The former Bayern Munich star, who joined the Old Trafford club in a £6.5million deal last summer, has been plagued with injuries in his first Prem season.

Schweinsteiger has been used sparingly by Joachim Low this tournament as he enters the twilight of his glistening career.

The Bayern legend scored after coming on as a substitute against Ukraine but missed his penalty in the shootout against Italy.

PSG physio Dario Fort could join Zlatan Ibrahimovic in making the switch to United. The Italian is due to speak with sporting director Olivier Letang in the coming days.
